We're Helping Our Heroes

Our associates are passionate about giving back — and they’re vocal about supporting those who serve our country.

When they asked what CarMax could do to support our veterans, we listened. In April we announced a nationwide commitment to community support and career opportunities for military members and their families.

Boosting healthy military communities

The CarMax Foundation will join with KaBOOM!® to build playgrounds in military neighborhoods around the country. And, we’ll be donating play equipment – Rigamajigs and Imagination Playgrounds – to nonprofit groups that serve military families, such as Fisher House.

CarMax associates will volunteer with Houston, Texas, and Denver, Colorado, veterans through The Mission Continues, a nonprofit group that helps veterans adjust to life at home and find purpose through community impact.

In all, we’ve committed $1.4 million to support organizations that support military and veteran families.

Providing strong career options

Ten percent of all CarMax hires are veterans and military spouses! That’s because veterans have the qualities that are key to success — integrity, teamwork, commitment to putting people first, and always doing the right thing. We share these qualities —they’re the bedrock of our business. We’ve joined with organizations like Hiring Our Heroes to connect veterans with careers at CarMax — from service and sales to positions at our corporate home office.
